Ming Dynasty Detective 1546

Chapter 87: I will never keep this honor to myself! (Second update)

"Don't start a quarrel among yourself, or you'll be laughed at by others!"

Lu Bing appeared with the Embroidered Spring Knife and immediately informed the arrogant Guo Xun of the emperor's oral order.

The current Jiajing is not yet a riddle man, these eight words are quite straightforward.

Don't fight among yourselves and make a fool of yourself by outsiders.

"I obey the imperial edict!"

After Guo Xun heard this, the arrogance and domineering look on his face instantly disappeared.

In the Grand Ceremony Discussion on the New Nobles, he was a pure political speculator. Seeing the new monarch ascend the throne, he wanted to make a small bet for a big gain, and he won the bet. Afterwards, he was also the most proud and arrogant. A few years later in history, he was promoted to Duke of the State and appointed as Grand Tutor. His status and power reached the peak, and he even dared to disrespect the emperor.

Therefore, his fate was the most tragic, imprisoned by the Imperial Guards and sentenced to death! Among the new nobles in the Grand Ceremony, he was the only one who did not have a good end!
But that was ten years later. At this moment, Guo Xun still knew very clearly where his infinite glory came from.

He dared to slap Yan Song's son in the ass in front of everyone, dared not give any face to Shuntian Prefecture Governor Huo Tao, and dared to confront the current second-in-command, but he did not dare to say a word against the emperor's confidant who only brought an oral order.

So at this moment, Guo Xun's anger disappeared, replaced by respect. He bowed in the direction of the Forbidden City, then jumped on his horse and said coldly to his left and right guards: "Let's go!"

Being arrogant at first and respectful later, no one will laugh at the thought of it.

Because Lu Bing's appearance represents the emperor's intervention.

Even if you don't know this person, you will recognize that Embroidered Spring Sword!

This case has reached the heavens and been heard!
Seeing the group of vicious private soldiers following, Gui Zai, who was the first to bear the brunt of the attack, felt relieved. His knees went weak and he almost fell to the ground, but he subconsciously looked at Gui E.

As expected, he saw a long-lost admiration in his old father's eyes, but on the surface Gui E didn't say another word. He flicked his sleeves and turned away.

Gui Zai's body trembled and tears welled up in his eyes. He wanted to cover his mouth, but he couldn't stop them.

Huo Tao came to his side and said, "My dear nephew, you have done a great job. Your father will be pleased. Go and help your friend."

This is referring to Yan Shifan who was not far away. The little chief priest was still lying there with a bruised face and nose!
However, before Gui Zai could go over, many indignant Imperial College students surrounded him. While most people were still watching and hesitating, two people had already walked out without hesitation.

Lin Daqin helped Yan Shifan up, and Hai Rui helped the coroner Li Ming, who was beaten even worse.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Yan Shifan was a little embarrassed. He originally hoped that Gui Zai would come to support him. It would be even better if Gui E and Huo Tao supported him on both sides.

Fortunately, Gui Zai also came forward at this time and said sincerely: "Dong Lou, thank you very much for this!"

Yan Shifan wiped the blood from his nose and smiled miserably: "Deyu, please don't say that. You and I are close friends. It's only right! It's only right!"

Gui Zai bowed and moved his lips, obviously wanting to ask about the other person's situation, but in the end he whispered, "I'm going to the Shuntian government office. This case must be investigated thoroughly. Zhao Qilang can't die in vain, and Marquis Wuding will not let this go!"

Yan Shifan's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly wanted to look back, looking for another figure.

Gui Zai said no more. Huo Tao left a few yamen runners to protect the scene and took him away.

"Oh!!"

Seeing the three high-ranking officials of the court and the parties involved in the murder leave one after another, the Imperial College was quiet for a moment. Someone shouted first, and the surrounding students suddenly cheered.

The sentiment is exciting.

There are too many people who are dissatisfied with Guo Xun, a top noble, but they are helpless...

Just like the Zhengde Dynasty, when the Eight Tigers were rampant in the capital, many people hated them to the core, but could do nothing about it...

now.

Finally won once.

Even if it's just to force them back.

Even if Guo Xun did not receive any punishment.

But when his brother-in-law died, he left in disgrace. Wasn't that a great loss of face?

Everyone was so excited that they rushed over and surrounded Yan Shifan, wishing they could lift him up.

Those standing outside no longer cared about their manners, they jumped up and down, raised their hands high, and expressed their joy.

This was the first time that Yan Shifan enjoyed such treatment.

He lived a poor childhood and worked as a follower for others when he was young. Even though his father became the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, he was always unknown and inconspicuous because there were higher-ranking officials above him.

When has there ever been such a time when so much attention has been paid to it?

An unprecedented pleasure rushed straight to his head, and every pore in his body emanated joy. He simply could not describe the comfort.

At this moment, Yan Shifan saw that Haiyue also came to the periphery and smiled at him.

Haiyue has just implemented a strategic shift.

At this stage, Guo Xun is indeed in power. After finding out the preliminary clues of the case and telling Gui Zai how to deal with the Marquis Wuding, he left the Imperial College and observed the situation nearby.

There was nothing to be embarrassed about. This was just a matter of avoiding the enemy's attack. After all, he really didn't have the qualifications to confront Guo Xun now. Was he going to take out a spear and fight against a hundred fully armed private soldiers?

So even if those private soldiers had rushed in, they wouldn't have found Haiyue. Of course, Lu Bing's appearance, representing the Emperor's will, instantly brought Guo Xun to his knees, which was perfect. "What Third Young Master Gui said just now, you were the one who taught him, right? Fortunately, after that confrontation, Marquis Wuding's momentum had weakened, allowing him to retreat so quickly!"

Lu Bing came to Haiyue at this time and laughed softly.

Before he came, he was actually prepared for a confrontation with Guo Xun because he was unruly.

After all, Lu Bing is only a representative. His Majesty will neither be present in person nor issue a clear decree. If this marquis is really blinded by anger and makes a fuss, he will be failing His Majesty's trust.

As a result, the other party retreated so easily because the progress of the case was already developing in a direction that was unfavorable to the Wuding Marquis Mansion. Being able to do this was of course the credit of the person in front of him.

So Lu Bing praised him generously: "Your Majesty will be very satisfied that this storm has been calmed down!"

Haiyue said, "It just happened to be the right time."

"Everything is prepared, and nothing is prepared!"

Opportunities come to those who are prepared. Lu Bing agrees with this statement very much. Criminal cases happen every day, so why can't others solve them, but this person can butcher an ox like a butcher and find out the truth cleanly and neatly? It is all due to his own abilities.

However, in this situation, he glanced at Yan Shifan with some disdain: "He just claimed the credit like this. Don't worry, there will be no such good thing..."

The implication is that Yan Shifan was clearly a winner without any effort, but now he has become a hero against Marquis Wu Ding.

Haiyue didn't think so. We shouldn't alienate people's efforts. Didn't you see that this guy's face was swollen from being slapped?

He was in prison, but if Yan Shifan had not delayed time and given him the opportunity to communicate with Gui Zai, the case would not have been able to move forward.

Those who can withstand pressure and take responsibility should be rewarded.

And then, something happened that no one could have expected.

Yan Shifan suddenly struggled to break free from his left and right, squeezed over here, then grabbed Haiyue's wrist and held it high: "This is Qionghai Thirteenth Brother, Haiyue!"

"He was unyielding and brave enough to risk offending Marquis Wu Ding, meticulously restoring the truth of the case!"

"He is the main contributor to this case!"

Lu Bing stepped aside, nodded slightly, and his attitude changed.

It seems that Minister Yan has a good way of educating his son. This inconspicuous follower is indeed responsible and broad-minded.

Haiyue was caught off guard.

Ah? Are you Yan Shifan?

From a darker perspective, this was to win Lu Bing's favor and to share the hatred of Marquis Wu Ding.

After all, solving this case can be said to have greatly offended the powerful military official.

But he was only eighteen years old after all. Seeing his face flushed with excitement at this moment, Haiyue actually felt sincerity from him.

This honor will never be mine alone!

The students of the Imperial College cheered and began to jump around Haiyue.

No matter what your background is, we are all one now!
After the excitement, everyone finally dispersed. Yan Shifan, breathlessly pulling Hai Yue aside, said with a smile, "Shisanlang, this time we two brothers have really made a name for ourselves!"

"Yes!"

Hai Yue was not very excited, but she felt a little nervous when she saw her younger brother Hai Rui and Lin Daqin being pulled by other students and raising their hands.

The reason why the students of the Imperial College were so excited at this moment was not for any other reason, but simply because the people of the capital had been oppressed too harshly by those nobles, and they felt proud to have a little outlet to express themselves.

This is actually not good news, because according to historical developments, Guo Xun would continue to be powerful for another ten years before being imprisoned and executed.

Haiyue wondered if the process could be sped up.

"Brother Donglou..."

"Don't call me brother, we are friends who have risked our lives together. Just call me Donglou!"

"Donglou, the case isn't over yet. Katsura Saburo is not cleared of suspicion of murder, as the motive of the deceased, Zhao Chen, is unclear!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shifan couldn't help but frown. "Yes! This case is truly bizarre. Zhao Qilang was in his prime, and with such a distinguished family background, it's a good thing he didn't force others to death. What could have driven him to death? Why would he commit suicide in front of Gui Deyu, and implicate this person?"

Haiyue said slowly: "I suspect this case involves close relatives."

Yan Shifan was stunned at first, then his expression was moved: "Madam Hou? Zhao Qilang's biological sister? 'Why! Why are you so cruel to me?' Are you saying this to his sister?"

That terrifying and desperate face appeared in my mind. It was indeed possible that it could make Zhao Chen so painful before committing suicide.

Furthermore, considering that Guo Xun was such an arrogant and domineering person, when he heard that Zhao Chen was forced to death, he didn't even say a word of defense and was just ready to forcibly arrest him, Yan Shifan suddenly became excited: "Could there be some scandal in the Wuding Marquis's mansion?"

Haiyue asked, "Do you still want to investigate further?"

"miss you!"

Yan Shifan's nose bled again. He touched his swollen mouth, grimacing in pain as he gritted his teeth and said, "These slaps are too hurtful! Investigate! This isn't over!"
